binary/text files


Hello there,

can someone tell me how CYGWIN32 handles text and binary files ??

Especially with :

- open() call 
- pipes and sockets
- tty's and ptys
- cat() command

What is the best way to control the case where \r characters are
inserted in front of each \n.

The problem is because I have a program which counts the bytes of a
file, and I have to modifiy it in order to :
-  count 1 byte at each newline under Unix
- count 2 bytes at each newline under Win32

What is the best way to do that ??
Thanks in advance ...
